1324 Black Marlin for "New Moon" - Australia

[kleiny]

hey guys iv just finished doing the heavy tackle season out of cairns onboard new moon (43 obrien) with captain kim Anderson and other crewman daniel carlson. Thanks heaps for the kind words about the fish it was a fish of a lifetime. The fish took 12 minutes to get on the leader and about 20 min to be subdued on the gaffs, I have some awsome footage of the fish jumping on the gaffs i will try and put on youtube if i can work out how. The short measrement of the fish was 12 '"11 with a girth of 82.5inches and the fish was caught off houston light. All in all we had a pretty good season catching 21 fish in 23 days onboard new moon including 2 over a 1000 and one 900 which was pretty good considering the season was a bit slow... Can't wait till next season.
